KSBW Threatens Recall Campaign with Legal Action; Bernie Sanders Supporters Also Angry

On Thursday, KSBW-TV announced the television station was contemplating legal action against Santa Cruz Together and the recall campaign in Santa Cruz for using its station logo in a misleading manner on a pro-recall campaign flyer. KSBW management maintains that by using their logo, the recall campaign is suggesting KSBW "has taken an editorial position in support of the recall effort," which KSBW has not. In separate news, Santa Cruz community members in support of Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are also angry with the recall campaign for misusing Sanders' image in recall campaign posters and social media posts that suggest an endorsement. Those working on the ground in Santa Cruz to get Bernie Sanders elected have endorsed a "No" vote on the recall of Progressive Santa Cruz City Councilmembers Drew Glover and Chris Krohn, and have endorsed a "Yes" vote for Progressives Tim Fitzmaurice and Katherine Beiers as back-up candidates.
